Your VandalProof Application
Dear Martiniano,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact with the new 1.2 version release it has even more power. As such we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again in the not too distant future. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof.

Dear Martin,

Removed you from the Martin Green entry. Sorry, I understand where you are coming from,  like you I would also enjoy having my own entry and like you I am simply not famous enough. Feel free to put all the info on your user page however. Most search engine will still pick it up as Wikipedia is a very popular site. Good Luck and enjoy the sunshine in San Diego Frank van Mierlo 22:27, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Ignoright
I have added a "" template to the article Ignoright, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Omnitheism
Aloha Martiano! I agree strongly with many of the points you make on the Omnitheism talk page, and I'm really glad I'm not the only one who wants to keep the page from being deleted.

As a contributor top the former page that was deleted, I would like to bring some of that material back, as I feel that the page's contents were generally valuable. I want to ask for the deleted page to be released in order to do this. This would not erase what you have written; I believe that more is better (that's the "omni" part!). Please let me know what you think.

Aloha,-- Laualoha 02:34, 2 October 2007 (UTC) p.s. Please help to save the article from immediate deletion by giving it a "keep" vote ASAP on the Articles for deletion/Omnitheism (second nomination) page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Rising Appalachia


A tag has been placed on Rising Appalachia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. InShaneee (talk) 04:40, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Rising Appalachia
Hello Martiniano,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Rising Appalachia for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, LightGreenApple  talk to me  22:33, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
